I put a cox 049 on the nose of my 72" span Sig Riser. Fuel tank was way to big and if you filled it the motor would go for a full 17 minutes. Plane barely flew so you had to really nurse it until it gained some height, and speed. Tons of fun it was! What amazed me was how much time I put on this little motor over the years and it never seemed to weaken. Amazing.
I have a Cox 020 with a wooden prop that my Dad bought in California in the 50s. I only remember running it one time as a teen but we never mounted it on a plane. I got a Cox Spitfire 049 powered when I was 13, never flew it though. It was gorgeous, had a sliding canopy and detailed cockpit. The fuel would soften the plastic if you didn’t thoroughly clean the plane with soapy water after running the motor. I replaced the wing once because of that. I still have the motor.
They're called glow engines BTW. The original Cox .010 was designed and produced about 35 years before the low-brow term "nitro engine" ever came out. It started, predictably, in the car market.
Nice vid! I recall having to use nylon props and even conditioning them by soaking in hot or boiling water...the nylon is quite flexible but if they dry out they get brittle. Keep them in plastic bags. Also position the prop so on compression its horizontal. Can't wait top see a vid of a second run and the rest of the Taranis!
I have two Cox Pee Wee .020's in a drawer I inherited. Yhey would do well on this air frame. Thanks Bruce for showing how much fun small IC engines are.
This is old school rc fight...way before electric rtf. I personaly have a huge respect for the older inovater's who made this hobby what it is today...remember the old and wise way's...so we might hope to be as helpfull to the future entusiast's.
@RCModelReviews G'day Bruce... Yay Team...! What a little Screamer... Um, back in the days when Wheels had flat sides running all the way around them (On Trains, mementos of previous Emergency-Stops ;-p ) ; we used to install the Prop. to be Horizontal on Compression, for Belly Landers. "10 to 4" made for easier Finger-Flick Starts, but the Low Blade often dug into the Dirt... And, better a busted brittle Prop, than a bent Shaft & intact Blades, eh ? Ciao !
Nice video Bruce but that little engine is loud but fun.I have a little 0.61 wasp which has a throttle and sounds just as loud which is a pity as I can only run it away from the neighbours.All the best hope you and your wife are keeping well,David.
Why don't you mount a carbon landing gear with foam wheels behind the firewall of the plane. Then you would have a propeller saver and could land on the runway.
I thought they didn’t need running in because they were made to such fine tolerances. An undercarriage would save that prop☺️ Amazing engines fro my childhood. I had a td 049 I used to compete with in half A free flight in a pylon Sloworm Your model glides well. No throttling back if you can’t see which way it’s going!
Landing gear may make it a couple g heavier but may be worth it since you have an airstrip to land on. Not saying it's easy to dead stick a runway landing but it might still be flying if they were fitted as per the kit?
to answer the landing gear question...this project was for all intents and purposes to attain a weight that is below 100g so Bruce can fly without a spotter...
When the engine is fully broken in, you may find full bore quite a handful. There are throttle sleeves available but these rob you of a lot of top end. One product that delivers full power is a sleeve once made by an outfit called Microflight. It works well but the engine goes a bit lean at low throttle. It got a bad rap due to some controversy over beta testing in the field. Looks like you're using the glass filled grey props which are brittle. Get the black, unbreakeable props.
noob question.. so when the motor is labeled as a line/free flight plane, it means it has no way to throttle. correct its just wide open till its out of fuel? i think i want to play with nitro, sure looks fun.. i do love flying my mini quad.. but this sure looks fun.. yup. gonna have to learn to cover a balsa build.. as iv only built a balsa rubber band kit so far and had no clue how to or what dope was for the paper covering. so i just finished it up stained it, and made a cool static stand out of it.. and call it art and have it on my desk. i have 2 other rubber band kits that have 22" wing spands for future projects.. but ill look for a kit for now that has the control surfaces that ill have to build into the rubber band kits which i just do not know or have the skill yet.. which ill gain from building a few balsa kits. ( and since i live in the desert AZ, 115F means perfect time for building a model, i fly my mini quad in the early morning, or evening when the temps are around 80F.. or my blade nano qx in the house all day long :D if you do not own a blade nano, they are blast. even bought a 25mw elite micro 40Ch micro FPV camera for 40 bucks to give inside FPV flying a try this summer ) it looks like a little cox engine would work great on one of these balsa rubber band kits. ok, tomorrow ill buy a iron, some plastic covering and start looking for a kit to build. you have motivated me bruce.. im building a 175 quad right now. so while the stuff is in the mail.. ill build that and get it off my table for my next project balsa nitro.. im sure ill need more than fuel etc.. so i lots to learn.. im assuming it will be a bit simpler compared to all the electric stuff iv been learning to build and fly mini quads. i love this hobby. i wish i would of started when i was a kid.. but hey im 41 and a kid at heart.. so what the hell. chris.
There are these sunglasses with an HD can right in the center, I ordered one maybe that will help you to. To those who are ripping him a new one for putting a tiny engine on his plane, come on it's his plane if he wants to have a screaming thrust system, let him. To Barry no zoom at least not full zoom right away, when I film with my cell phone I don't use the screen I note were my camera lens is and keep the plane at the brim of the phone lined up with the lens and don't use the screen, it makes it easier to track the plane.
@RCModelReviews Hm, that's a "Gremlin"... Roald Dahl's 1940 vintage Aero-Goblin Theory of Transient Airborne Faults, which are generally unrepeatable on the Ground...? Col. Murphy, 1947, USAAC Rocket Sled Deceleration Program's Commander, said : "If a Job exists which is SO simple there are only 2 ways to do it, & 1 is UTTERLY Wrong...; then somewhere, someone will do it wrong, EVERY TIME..!" After the 36 Biomed. Sensors were stuck upside-down, on the Test Subject. Ciao !
And that boys and girls is why we don't fly glow engines anymore. Bruce used to have a full head of hair before he started playing with those tiny, noises, dirty, little things.
Barry, can you video my wedding when I'm ready?

Probably thirty years since I flew one of them and I could still smell it....

Excellent work on the camera Barry... LOL Loverly plane though... :o)
I don't miss my .049 from the 80's at all, I love the new electrics!
Wow!!! The sound brings back memories of my cox .049...
Barry - not the worst cameraman in the world ... but fecking close! LOL. What a brilliant little model.
isn't it about time for more video's on this little beauty. .....and maybe even a build video log and some flying on the radical r/c micro stick ??
Another great video. I doubt I could keep something so small in the air, but you make it look easy. Clear Skies, Bruce!
Gosh, that takes me back. Remember the Ace Das Littlest Sticks with the pulse proportional radios?
love it!! Love the sound, smell and look of nitro planes!
Nice vid! I recall having to use nylon props and even conditioning them by soaking in hot or boiling water...the nylon is quite flexible but if they dry out they get brittle. Keep them in plastic bags. Also position the prop so on compression its horizontal. Can't wait top see a vid of a second run and the rest of the Taranis!
Looks like a great little plane, I think I actually have a Cox engine from years back in a shed somewhere... might need to find it again!
I had a Das Littlest Stick with a single channel ACE pulse proportional and a tee Dee 010. Great little plane.
I have two Cox Pee Wee .020's in a drawer I inherited. Yhey would do well on this air frame. Thanks Bruce for showing how much fun small IC engines are.
TD 019 or 020 ?
I'm an old fart too.
Brings back memories !!
Especially the friend with the CAM.

Looks like the motor on the cox P51 control line plane I had in the 7th grade love it. Mom loved it when I started in the bedroom.
Next step... Turbocharger for those high altitude flights.
Nice video Bruce but that little engine is loud but fun.I have a little 0.61 wasp which has a throttle and sounds just as loud which is a pity as I can only run it away from the neighbours.All the best hope you and your wife are keeping well,David.
I always happy to know the old man playing rc plane, better if you mount your camera in your head, live a quadcopter101
I used to collect model engines , I had a 5 cylinder cox radial, special build, sounded totally mad
Wow, that is a piece of art
Down memory lane...back in the seventies my first crash was a Cox powered Cessna.
Barry makes an excellent cloud photographer :-)
Why don't you mount a carbon landing gear with foam wheels behind the firewall of the plane. Then you would have a propeller saver and could land on the runway.
2:30, cats freaked out and left the room. :-) Thanks Bruce, fun video

Amazing engines fro my childhood. I had a td 049 I used to compete with in half A free flight in a pylon Sloworm
Your model glides well. No throttling back if you can’t see which way it’s going!
Almost persuades me to get into Nitro. It's just too much hassle. Good entertaining video & nice little plane.
Looks and sounds great! I still fly a Pilot Baby with a .049 occasionally.
Good work ! Good to see you fly again ........ (under 100g) ! Love Barry Cam !!
Landing gear may make it a couple g heavier but may be worth it since you have an airstrip to land on. Not saying it's easy to dead stick a runway landing but it might still be flying if they were fitted as per the kit?
Great fun Bruce,had a feeling Barry might struggle with that little stick.Adds to the fun though.Thumbs up from me mate.
I love the ham radio on his hip.
You're funny....3 minutes of terror.....possibly much less....Nice video!!
Nice one, Love that Barry CAM...
Great...I recalled the smell of the exhaust straight away!!!...Rgds...Laurie
Love you work Barry
Easy on Barry He's in training! Nice plane!
Great flight Bruce, love it! Very nice flying plane.

chris.
my dad gave me 3 (049 or the 020 do not no yet) and I've only got one to work but it assume when you get them going.
I don't miss it a bit. good flyer though, congrats on a success.
Barry-Cam reminds me of Forrest Gump and the chocolates, because you really never know what you're gonna get with the Barry-Cam!
Love .010's, sounds like a pissed mosquito.

You need an extreme wide fisheye lens.
My very first rc ever was a Styrofoam ufo with a cox engine in it. Still have the scars on my finger from that blasted propeller!!
You know the wierd thing is we do still fly nitro engines
What a terrific sound. Smallest combustion engine I've s
I have no idea which size battery was used, since it's only used for receiver and servos and not for an engine that one could be fairly small.
Странно. Обычно моторы такого типа всегда заводили против часовой стрелки. В видео заводят по часовой.

Lol ! Nice guy's , it sounds like a pesky mosquito lol ! Very cool
love your videos man
Awesome little bid ! how you getting on with the Taranis fella ?
Good stuff Bruce! It looks like you could fill the wings with fuel. Any chance of you developing that?
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!
That is the worst noise ever!. Nice job though.
That little motor sounds like a pissed off bumble bee.
Cool stuff, can't wait to see another flight of the little one :-)
That plane is fast, the camera can't keep.
What did you use to power your servos and receiver?? If you used a BEC what type did you use?
And that boys and girls is why we don't fly glow engines anymore. Bruce used to have a full head of hair before he started playing with those tiny, noises, dirty, little things.
those little motors need oil mixed into the nitro? i thought you just bought something like 20% nitro and just ran nitro engines on that alone
Is it possible on the idol from hobby king and which moter
is Barry the only gullible sod you know that can point a camera?
Great job, Barry!! really though, that's not near as easy to do as some think--great try--
Cool im going to build one but put my .049 on it
I don't miss that slim!
Good job Bruce. Personally I don't like the noise, but it was a project worth doing. :¬)
Do Cox engines rotate the opposite direction to other glow engines?
Where did you get the plan?
Poor camera man, how do you follow a mosquito??
Is it worth it to buy from hobbyking?
whats the weight of the engine?
wonder if this is the worlds smallest rc nitro plane
Now for rc conversion Guillows using .010 or .020
god damnit barry!
Who's operating the camera, Stevie Wonder?
Does anyone know where I can buy this size engin? I am only use to bigger engines like .91 4 stroke
Soooo cute!
Barry needs a helmet cam...or something, LOL
Woohoo!! Fun stuff!
Can use the landing gear supplied.
where are you get this plane .i have a .049 engine. i will build a small plane to fly it.
Sir, i am having trouble finding the span/surface area-"S" in the lift formula of an airofil. please help me out.
+Santhosh Kumar what de fak is wrong with you indians sir?
+terragady what is your problem mate ? I f you are not gonna help me fine. You have no fukng right to talk about INDIA.
+Santhosh Kumar c'mon i have a right to talk about everything
+terragady lmao 😂😂
+terragady what's ur deal ur parents died?
Tell Barry to keep zoomed out!!
Brian :)
Is Barry an infant?
give him a brake why dont do try and film
Yeah Rotor Head, pump his brake
Very nice this plane I like it
Barry you are fired!
I love this plane so much.............
Did you get your license back bruce?
Excellent😀
